Are bursaries paid directly to applicants?

No – if your application is successful, your university will receive the bursary on your behalf, and pass the money on to you.

Duration

You can apply for a bursary for each year of your degree course, or for the remaining years if you first apply part-way through your course. Unfortunately, we can’t offer grants for previous years of study that you have already completed.

Do you need to re-apply each year?

In general, we expect to continue awarding you a grant for as long as your undergraduate degree continues, provided that:

You continue to study full-time, at the same university, on the same course

Your university confirms that your academic performance is satisfactory each year

You progress on to the next year of your course when expected

There is no significant change in your financial situation

Your university is responsible for sending us this information in a yearly report.
